Miguel Morgado: "The left gave up trying to understand ordinary people and adopted an elitist attitude"

SIC Notícias1 September 2026 at 14:27

Miguel Morgado analyzes the migratory crisis affecting Ceuta, a Spanish enclave in north Africa. The commentator uses an interview given by a local resident, whose testimony was simultaneously commented on by an influencer from the Spanish radical left.

Morgado uses this episode to develop a critique of the contemporary left. His central argument is that the left abandoned the effort to understand ordinary people and adopted an elitist posture towards their concerns and perspectives.

The migratory crisis in Ceuta, Spanish territory located on the northern coast of Morocco, has generated significant tensions and public debate about immigration policies. The reaction of the left-wing influencer to the testimony of the Ceuta resident becomes, according to Morgado, an example of this elitist approach that he identifies as a broader problem of the political left.

Jair Renan Asks for Votes for Esperidião Amin and Carlos Bolsonaro, but Leaves Michelle's Ally in SC Out of the Campaign Flyer

The campaign material attributed to Jair Renan Bolsonaro (PL-SC) asks for votes for Carlos Bolsonaro and Esperidião Amin for Senate, but excludes federal deputy Caroline de Toni, Michelle Bolsonaro's ally on the same ticket. The flyer also supports Jair Renan for federal deputy, Flavinho for president, Jorginho Mello for governor, and Camilo Martins for state deputy. Toni's exclusion occurs amid tensions in the Bolsonaro coalition in Santa Catarina, as Amin was passed over by Jorginho earlier this year to accommodate the ex-president's son.
